BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT - podcast review out now

Based on the graphic novel from 1989, and directed by Sam Liu, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight sees the Dark Knight fight off against the mysterious killer Jack the Ripper as part of DC's Elseworld series. With a bunch of familiar characters playing unfamiliar parts, Gotham by Gaslight mixes Victoriana references into a semi-steampunk world and puts Bruce Wayne's detective skills to the test, but how can he seriously expect to succeed against the notoriously anonymous Ripper? And how many heavy handed references can you force into 78 minutes. Starring Bruce Greenwood, Jennifer Carpenter and Anthony Head.
